Closely connected to the world
This year, the GMT-Master II (GMT-Master II) launches two new watches, a gold steel model and an 18K gold model. They are paired with a gray and black two-color Cerachrom ceramic bezel. The new color scheme is eye-catching.
Among the two new Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II models released by Rolex, 18K gold material makes a gorgeous return to this series. The first is a gold steel model (a combination of Oystersteel and gold), while the second is entirely cast in 18K gold.
The two watches have many similarities. First of all, both are equipped with an integrated Cerachrom gray and black two-color ceramic 24-hour scale bezel, which is newly unveiled in a novel color scheme. The “GMT-Master II” name on the dial is painted in yellow powder. The new watch is paired with a commemorative strap, equipped with an Oyster safety clasp and an easily adjustable link extension system.
The new GMT-Master II is equipped with the 3285 caliber, an advanced watchmaking technology, which can display the time in another time zone in a 24-hour format and can also accurately display hours, minutes, seconds and date.
Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II has received the Superlative Chronometer certification, ensuring that the watch can perform extremely well when worn.
One watch, multiple time zones
When the GMT-Master was first launched, it was designed to help professional pilots use their watches to assist navigation during long-distance flights. Since then, this watch has gradually become a favorite among travelers. The design of the watch is unique and easy to identify. It is equipped with a two-way rotating outer ring and a 24-hour scale bezel. It is also available in a variety of two-color bezels, with the lower half representing day time and the upper half representing night time. The watch is also available with a single color bezel. As a functional watch, the GMT-Master has been continuously improved over the years, and its technical performance has been increasingly improved. In 1982, Rolex launched the GMT-Master II, which was equipped with a movement that allowed the hour hand to be adjusted independently, unlike other hands.
With traditional hours, minutes and seconds hands, a triangular arrow 24-hour hand and a bi-directional rotating outer ring with a 24-hour scale Cerachrom ceramic bezel, the GMT-Master II can display the time in two time zones at the same time: it can read the local time and the local time at the same time. The time at the departure place can also be read at the same time as the local time and the time in the third time zone. The calendar display is synchronized with the local time.
High-tech ceramics
Rolex has repeatedly pioneered the development of ceramic technology. With its superb technology, it has developed an integrated ceramic outer ring and ceramic bezel. These materials are not only scratch-resistant but also impervious to environmental influences. The high-tech ceramic word ring is made of special chemicals and is extremely difficult to corrode. After years of painstaking research and development, Rolex has developed a unique set of professional knowledge and innovative equipment and production processes, so it can produce ceramic components completely independently. The new GMT-Master II is equipped with a two-way rotating outer ring and a Cerachrom gray and black two-color ceramic 24-hour scale insert. The molded scales and numbers are plated with gold using PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating technology. The toothed edge of the outer ring allows the wearer to easily grasp and rotate the outer ring.
Rolesor combination of gold and steel
Rolex registered Rolesor (gold steel) as a trademark in 1933. The combination of gold and Oystersteel has become one of the iconic features of Rolex watches. This is a combination of two metals: gold, noble, elegant and precious, lustrous and stable; steel, unbreakable, strong and trustworthy. These qualities perfectly demonstrate the elegance and performance of Rolex watches.
The outer ring, winding crown and central link of the strap of the new GMT-Master II gold steel model are all cast in gold; the middle case, case bottom cover and links on both sides of the strap are cast in Oystersteel.
Oyster case, symbol of water resistance
The new GMT-Master II’s 40 mm Oyster case is guaranteed water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet) and is a model of robustness and reliability. The middle case of the series of watches is cast from a single piece of solid Oystersteel or 18K gold. Rolex watchmakers use special tools exclusive to the brand to tighten the finely grooved bottom cover to seal the case, so only Rolex watchmakers can access the movement. The three-buckle winding crown has a triple waterproof system and is firmly screwed to the case. The crown guard is integrated into the middle case to protect the winding crown. The mirror surface is made of anti-reflective blue crystal and is not easily scratched. There is a small window convex lens at 3 o’clock for easy reading of the calendar. The watch’s waterproof Oyster case provides the best protection for the movement.
Perpetual movement caliber 3285
The new GMT-Master II is equipped with caliber 3285, which was launched in 2018. It was developed and manufactured by Rolex and was installed in this series of watches in the same year. This self-winding mechanical movement embodies Rolex’s superb technology and has outstanding performance in terms of accuracy, reliability, power reserve and ease of use.
The 3285 movement is equipped with Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement system, which is efficient and reliable. This escapement is made of nickel-phosphorus alloy and is not affected by high-intensity magnetic fields. The movement is equipped with a blue Parachrom hairspring, made from a unique paramagnetic alloy cast by Rolex. Even if the temperature changes, the hairspring remains very stable and has excellent shock resistance. The hairspring is also equipped with a Rolex final ring to ensure that the movement can still operate regularly in any position. The movement’s hairspring balance assembly is equipped with a high-performance Paraflex cushioning device designed and patented by Rolex to improve the movement’s shock resistance. The automatic rotor is equipped with improved ball bearings.
The 3285 caliber is equipped with a perpetual motion automatic winding system, which uses a perpetual oscillating weight to wind the movement. The structure of the barrel and the excellent efficiency of the escapement system allow the 3285 movement to have a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
Commemorative strap and Oyster safety clasp
The new GMT-Master II comes with a commemorative strap. The five-link link strap is flexible and comfortable. It was specially designed and released by Rolex in 1945 for the Oyster Perpetual Datejust.
The commemorative strap of the new watch is equipped with a folding Oyster safety buckle to prevent the buckle from opening accidentally. The strap is equipped with the easy-adjustable link extension system developed by Rolex, and the wearer can easily extend the strap by about 5 mm. The 18K gold watch strap is embedded with patented ceramic components designed by the brand, making it more flexible and durable.
Superior Chronometer Certification
Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II also carries the Superlative Chronometer certification established by Rolex in 2015. This unique designation proves that each watch has successfully passed a series of tests in Rolex laboratories. In addition, the movements of these watches are also certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Center (COSC). The watch is tested after it is assembled and the movement is installed in the case to ensure that the watch can perform excellently in terms of accuracy, power reserve, waterproofing and automatic winding when worn. The average error of the Rolex Grand Observatory chronometer is within plus or minus two seconds per day. The accuracy that Rolex pursues is much higher than the standard for Swiss official chronometer certification.
The green seal is the symbol of superior chronometer precision, and every Rolex watch carries this seal and comes with a five-year global guarantee.
